I'm not talking about Chinese guns, but German and British guns that are supposed to be good; a HW80 had a sharp ridge at the bottom, several Supersports seem to be oval and leak lubricants past the seal, a Tx200 with bulges, and the list goes on...

Do other people get them too, or is it just me?
The only one that I can remember is a Mk 2 Airsporter.

Are the guns you are talking about new or S/H I wouldn't be surprised if AA would put the TX right.
